sailing Sailing...

Hello, what do you think?

Nice shot! I really like the softness of the colours in this one.

Well done

I was just wondering what happens with more contrast,darkening and some saturation?

Yes Tomislav, your version is better. Maybe I will go back to the laboratory...

Too much contrast would kill the wonderful softness of this scene. I like it just the way it is. Beautiful.

7/7

Beautiful light. I love the way it hits the sail. Wonderful reflections from the water.

Ilkka, I agree with both Tomislav and Keith and I believe there is a compromise. A little selective darkening of the hull and the figures on the boat and a slight graduated darkening of the immediate foreground water. I believe that would give the image more depth by increasing the snap without loosing the wonderful soft, quite quality of the image.

It is nice to see this shot in a sea of over saturated - over photoshoped sailboat photographs. Nice, calm, relaxing mood. Great work

One cannot help it: backlit sails are irresistible!

 

I like the original contrast, but wouldn't mind adding some more (just a bit more!).

 

I know this place, and I think you captured quite well its atmosphere, surely helped by the mist at the horizon.

 

I think a slight CCW rotation could help, though.

simple,,and very good image!!!!!

The light conditions stole my breath at first glance. The detail in this photo is exquisite, for me. At first, I wanted to crop part of the bottom, but I don't wish to sacrifice the reflection of the sails in the water. Everything connects so well in this photo.
